What happens when a safe, middle class, middle aged marriage suddenly stalls? When the opportunity arises for one life to be renewed but at the expense of the happiness and security of others? HONOUR, at The Court Theatre from 21st February is a provocative, witty challenge to our notions of domestic honour, homely decency and our belief that love will prevail. Joanna Murray-Smith wrote HONOUR in 1995 during a writing programme at Colombia University in New York. She wanted to explore a 'woman who is left at the very point in her life when she ought to be reaping the benefits of her sacrifice', and recognised that 'a story as familiar as this was only going to work if it dug more complexly beyond the stereotypical version'.

Tickets are $48.50 and may be purchased by calling the Mercury Theater Box Office at 773.325.1700. THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, which recently made its Chicago premiere, runs through March 1. Adapted for the stage by Jeffrey Fiske and Max McLean, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, which runs 90 minutes without intermission, is set in an office in hell. The engaging play follows a senior devil, Screwtape, and his secretary, Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on how to 'undermine faith and prevent the formation of virtues' in a young man who has just converted to Christianity. As Screwtape ridicules Wormwood and devilishly dictates his letters to Toadpipe, the fantastical creature transforms into laughingly recognizable figures with whimsical movement and wordless wit. Critics have raved that the show is 'Very smart...richly rewarding...exuberant theatricality!,' (Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune), 'Phenomenal! Sizzling entertainment...wonderfully clever. Sensational!,' (Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times), 'A first rate production...Terribly entertaining... Screwtape boils over with wit' (Jayne Blanchard, The Washington Times), a 'Hell of a good time...imaginative theatricality...wonderful performances' (Frank Scheck, New York Post), 'Sly, funny, handsomely produced' (Celia Wren, Washington Post) and 'A thought-provoking, engaging, entertaining, intelligent, bitingly satirical and funny exploration of profound issues of right and wrong,' (Daniel Kelley, NYTheatre.com.)
